Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse
Chapter 215: Everyone’s Stomach Ache

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Everyone’s Stomach Ache

It was not easy to get a few days of peace, which is really annoying.

But unspoken still, the apocalypse really is full of hidden dangers.

Things that seem perfectly normal can become fatal weapons, the very thought is frightening.

The next morning, Jhiang Yuan reported the situation to her father and mother.

Such matters are of great importance and should be taken seriously by everyone.

"Through this incident, I feel that we should also start paying attention,

From now on, we shouldn’t be too casual with anything,

It’s best not to let our skin come into contact with anything, it’s really too scary."

As a devoted daughter, Qin Yue immediately agreed,

"Daughter is right, we all need to be more careful, this is not a trivial matter.

Who would have thought that snowflakes could turn into this, other things might not be safe either."

"That’s true, it’s very necessary indeed."

Jhiang Yuan, not reassured, started disinfecting again after dinner.

She didn’t spare any corner of the house, since the temperature was quite low.

She was disinfecting and drying at the same time.

She didn’t neglect the corridors outside either; instead of hastily spraying disinfectant, she lit a pile of fire in the corner.

She used the big iron pot they had found before, and would clean up when it got a bit warmer.

The remaining embers could still be used for heating; it was killing two birds with one stone.

Their activity was noticeable, and Song Yi came out as well.

He helped chop wood, but had to keep the noise down, after all, there were other residents in the building.

The windows were obscured by windblown snow and frost, and it took a lot of effort to open a small crack.

Jhiang Yuan felt that burning the fire like this was a bit of a waste, so she brought some sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Before long, they began to emit an enticing sweet aroma, tempting everyone’s cravings.

Right then, the people from downstairs also came up.

"I thought you were up to something, with all the clanging, you’re making a fire here."

"Yeah, we’re just roasting some sweet potatoes and potatoes, come over and have some..."

Zhang Kaiyang, smelling the delicious aroma, knew he couldn’t just eat for free; food was too precious nowadays.

"Wait for me..."

He said, and hurriedly ran downstairs. When he came back up, he was accompanied by Fan Qing.

Initially, it had just been him and Liang Kang who had come up; Ye Mianmian joined them later.

"Look, I have so much chocolate here, let’s melt it, add some water, drink a bit, and it will be so warming!"

Ye Mianmian also wanted to go back and fetch some meat; there was still quite a bit of wolf meat left from last time.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t let her go; it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing, and to do so now would seem too deliberate.

Having something to eat and drink, it truly was a little slice of heaven.

Everyone helped out, which made Liang Kang’s family feel somewhat embarrassed.

Jhiang Yuan, however, was not petty, and she shared some with everyone equitably.

Especially Jingjing; as a child, she garnered a lot of attention.

Once that was finished, they all got busy with disinfection again.

Many hands make light work; they soon finished.

They even cleaned up around the downstairs area.

Today was Ye Mianmian and Song Yi’s turn to be on duty, and they were very responsible.

Ye Mianmian watched in the morning, while Song Yi took the afternoon shift; they didn’t need to be together.

They would just meet up, hand over, and that was fine.

...

Everything was fine, but in the middle of the night, there was still a problem.

Song Yi came knocking on the door, and Jhiang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, knowing for sure it wasn’t good news.

Dressing quickly, the temperature must have dropped to around minus sixty degrees by now.

Just went to the surveillance room, and my calves cramped up, can’t be careless now, if it’s chilblains, I’m screwed for the rest of my life.

But then again, might not have a rest of my life if things keep going this way.

"What’s happened, what’s the rush?"

Song Yi, seeing that Jhiang Yuan was still in good spirits, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Someone from downstairs has come, says they have severe stomach pain. Are you all okay?"

"I’m fine, hold on, I’m going to check on my parents."

Time waits for no one, so Song Yi didn’t dawdle.

"Alright, you go first, I’ll check downstairs, then you come by yourself later."

"Okay!"

Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue were sleeping peacefully and were a bit baffled upon waking.

But hearing there was an issue, they quickly got up.

Dad accompanied her downstairs, while Mom stayed to watch over Xiao Nuan.

The people from 2002 all had some symptoms, but thankfully, those from 2001 were in a severe condition.

"Sister Yuan, you should come and see too, Brother Song is already there."

"Since he’s there, there’s no rush. Mianmian, have you taken any medicine?"

"I have."

They did have Nofloxacin capsules at home, and Song Yi also brought over some anti-diarrhea medicine.

Although it’s not certain they are the right treatment, both types can treat diarrhea.

"How do you feel now?"

"Just that my stomach hurts, the really really painful kind. Sister Yuan, do you think it might be because we drank the snow water?"

Jhiang Yuan nodded, that must be the situation.

She and Song Yi were fine, the biggest difference being they hadn’t touched that snow water, using only the water they had stockpiled at home.

"How about Grandma, any symptoms?"

At the mention of this, Ye Mianmian couldn’t help but tear up.

"Grandma’s pretty bad too, been to the toilet several times, now she’s asleep, but keeps groaning..."

At her age, dealing with such a troublesome illness is really tough.

It’s no wonder she’s worried, but getting anxious doesn’t help.

"Don’t cry, Grandma seeing you like this will make her feel worse."

After comforting her and telling them to rest well, Jhiang Yuan went next door.

Liang Kang’s family was in a slightly worse condition, even five-year-old Jingjing was very sick.

The room reeked of toilet odors, and seeing her and Jhiang Xingzhi come in, Xiao Ling was a bit embarrassed.

She wanted to open the window to ventilate, but Jhiang Yuan quickly stopped her.

"It’s fine, it’s a special time, don’t catch a cold from the draft.

Later, we’ll see which room is unoccupied, it’s good to open a window a bit for airing."

But they couldn’t open a window in the room they were staying in, direct exposure would be dangerous.

"The toilet has been unusable for a while, we’ve been using plastic bags, which we throw away when they’re full, but now we can’t help it, the smell is just too strong, sorry for this..."

"It’s okay, don’t think too much about it, rest well, take the medicine, and if you can sleep, rest a little more..."

Xiao Ling was also very weak; diarrhea does this, it might not be a big issue, but it’s exhausting.

"It’s just so pitiful for Jingjing, she’s too young, it really hurts her, she even sweats, I..."

She broke down crying.

As a mother, she understood the feeling of helplessness.

"There’s nothing else we can do right now, take the medicine, let the child rest a bit.

I’ll go back and check, we still have brown sugar at home, I’ll cook some brown sugar water for Jingjing to drink."
